I agree with you Phyllis. Illegal immigration should be punished, not rewarded. I grew up in Northern Virginia with eight years of my life being spent in Fairfax County and seven being spent in Prince William. If I still lived in Prince William County, that resolution would have my vote. I don't know why legal immigrants would feel so strongly about this unless their relatives and/or friends are illegal.

I am all for Immigration.......Illegal Immigration, no way....and protesting for rights, what rights??? If they are here illegally, they have no rights and are already in violation of our laws.
Noted Phyllis...thanks for the post

I really don't understand why it is that many people think ILLEGAL ALIENS need to be coddled by our government...the people who speak out for them and are NOT businesses employing them have their heads up their asses...of course the businesses do too...their motive is PROFIT...if you can hire a illegal alien as a carpenter's helper for $7 an hour, why hire an American who wants health insurance etc. along with $15 an hour? UNFAIR...I want AMERICA BACK

Felicita, I was born and raised in Brooklyn also......you can obtain a copy of your birth certificate from the hospital you were born in, or the Board of Health. I lost mine and had to get a copy years ago, pretty sure I got it from the Board of Health. They have to have a record of your birth if it was ever filed.
I don't understand how or why your or your daughter's information would be deleted......

I did try them they say my birth records are deleted and up popped new information that was false. they said they dont see my daughters info. i know how to get hers but to get hers i need to prove i am her mother. her info states that her mom is born in brooklyn. they changed it from brooklyn to another country.now i cant vote. or get va benifits. I am an american that cannot vote! what happens to me when the real Id happens and i have no documents? I am also a victim of that miltary breach that happened not to long ago. Board of heath erased all my daughters vacines. now what? /sad native New Yorker!

Felicita, I am also a New Yorker, and Charles is right. It is also called the Bureau of Vital Statistics. If your daughter was born in a hospital, her birth information was taken there and sent to the state. So, there's got to be proof that she was born in the U.S.A. If a Social Security card was issued after her birth, the Social Security Department should have information on where she was born, as well as, your Social Security Information. Do you own an American passport? I have never heard of birth certificates being deleted.

Illegal immigrants have no rights, but yet they demonstrate all the time demanding their civil rights and human rights and all of that. I can't understand how someone can demand anything when they have broken the law to begin with. But, still in many states, illegal immigrants receive benefits that most of us would not get if we lost our jobs, or fell to hard times. The overcrowding of schools in South Florida is excessive because we have a lot of undocumented children attending school, I don't know how they manage to get registered to begin with.

I did go to the hospital where my daughter was born they asked me for proof of who i was i told them that my ID was slolen and she said that she couldhelp me if i can show my birth records and social security card. i went to social security for card they said i need birth certificate to get card.A cps worker changed my country on my birth certificate. so i went bk to cps and complained and demand thatthey help me change it bk. their response was to try and take away my kids!! they were trying to adopt my children out lol. i still cant believe it.they told me to leave the state or they would take my kids so i did. an now im in some other state without papers. these are their words that the computers went down and they cant find our birthcerificates.when the birth records appeared they were changed. i am geting all my 6 brothers and sisters birtcerifitcates and show that we all are americans and i am going to sue! my right to vote was taken from me. and so many other rights too. i cant believe that i am american and i am treated this way. i even served in the airforce too and cant recieve anything. i called the bureau of vital records the have a changed certificate for me. i cnt used a false certificate its against the law! I am getting rdy to fight this and when i do its going to make Luna vs Dobson look like a parking ticket case!

Admittedly, I feel for people who come here seeking more opportunity -- but I have to agree -- do it legally. That IS the point of these laws.

Yes...Charles, I agree....I have no health insurance, I am unemployed....have a hard time finding a job because of a conviction that is almost 7 years old (the ONLY thing on my record)....I was told by the small business loan admin, I can't get a business loan to start a business, because I am a convicted felon...go figure...but people who are here ILLEGALLY WANT BENEFITS...I am sorry it just makes me want to f--- someone up.....GOVERNMENT I MEAN!!! As for any one here legally, working and trying, I have no objection....
